OT: How To Destroy America (Or ANY Nation)

[Guest guest]

Hi y'all,

 

Is this about politics .. or history .. or .. nationalism? Maybe! Some

might say its about prejudice or discrimination .. but they would be

wrong if they thought I was prejudice or would discriminate. As a young

man I married a Vietnamese Buddhist (RIP) and later a Turkish Moslem ..

and now have a relationship with a Russian Christian. My Mother's

mother was Jewish .. my Mother's father was a Catholic .. and I follow

the path of Native American Spiritualism. I believe the below is about

reality and I believe it is the obligation of Americans (and citizens of

any other nation) to pay close attention to reality.

 

We are NOT a Global Society .. and I believe we never will be!

 

Is the below Politically Correct? Hell No~! To approach such issues in

a Politically Correct manner would require us to bury our heads in the

sand and not discuss them at all~!

 

As an amateur historian with some knowledge about the rise and fall of

various great nations, a trained sociologist, an experienced political

analyst, and a full time realist .. I think the below deserves a read

because it contains a glimpse of where America might be heading.

 

Persian, Roman, Greek, Ottoman and other great Nation States fell, and

though their demise did cause a hiccup or two in world events the heart

of the world continued to beat. Will the world be better off or worse

off if what we think of as American or Canadian or any other Western

Democratic culture also becomes a chapter(s) in history books?

 

Right Wingers will beat their drums in support of the position below and

Liberals will scream that its a negative and chauvinistic approach to the

issue of equality of nationalities. They both (mayhaps) will have some

valid points. We can all be equal .. and individual .. and have less

than we have now .. but shared by all. This statement brings to mind

the very ideal (and very unreal) dogma of Socialism (Communism).

 

The position of former Governor Lamm (D-Col) is not (methinks) all that

controversial .. unless we close our eyes to reality and pretend that

the Emperor has New Clothes .. and some folks will do just that.

 

A smart lady who is in the middle of the road politically .. mentioned a

tale about a yard man named Luis doing yard work in the heat of the day.

She went on to say that it is sad that many Americans will not get up

early in the morning or even go out late in the afternoon to do this

type of work. Some of us must do for ourselves .. others are exactly

what many people from many countries say about us .. as a Nation we are

Fat .. Lazy .. Spoiled AMERICANS who don't clean our homes or cook our

own food if we can hire others to do it for us.

 

When I was growing up in rural Kentucky .. early each morning there were

dozens of men at the Todd County Court House Square waiting to be given

day work on the local farms. As a teenager, in the summer I was always

one of those waiting on the square. We can't find ONE person on the

court house square today. The farmers have been forced to hire Pedro,

Juan, Armando, Chico, Salazar and Luis .. among many others .. to keep

their farms running.

 

These migrant workers are good workers .. they work hard and are given

a fair wage and a decent place to live. Most of the money they make is

sent back home. Without them many of the farms in Todd County, Kentucky

would go under in a short time.

 

Should we fire Luis, the yardman, and ask Governor Lamm to take care of

our yard? Should we send these migrant workers away because they are

taking work that Americans SHOULD .. but WILL NOT .. take? That's an

option .. though not a good one methinks because, unfortunately, we need

these hard working folks. I think a better option is to give Luis and

all the migrant workers presently in the USA a Green Card or maybe US

Citizenship and then exercise responsible control of immigration. Those

who might think my solution borders on Nationalism are exactly correct!

The Saudis (and some other nations) hire Third World Nationals to do

everything for them but brush their teeth and I believe that America is

(as they are) on a short road to disaster!

 

Are we thinking of our children? Will they be able to make it on their

own after we have been giving them everything they want? Probably not

in the America we know today .. but again, will the demise of America as

we know it today rock the world? Yes .. but only for a half century or

so .. the world will continue to turn and will grow accustomed to the

change. As for me .. I hope my grandchildren's children will not be

forced to face such a change .. but perhaps its bit too much to hope for

now. I betcha a purty that many years ago some Persian, Roman, Greek

and Ottoman fathers/grandfathers had the same hopes!

 

Are Americans spoiled .. and do we have too much money?

 

Having lived outside the USA for more than half my life .. having worked

in 29 countries and visited in another 20 or so .. I can easily answer

those questions .. HELL YES~!

 

In any case .. here is what former Governor Lamm had to say on the

subject .. just recently:
